Answer:

4/81

Explanation:

Thats a compound event and the three events are independent - they do not affect each other-, so we will multiply the probabilities of these independent events.

the probability of not spinning a 5 = 8/9

the probability of flipping a head = 1/2

the probability of spinning a 1 = 1/9

So the probability = 8/9 * 1/2 * 1/9 = 4/81
